Class 1-2Thank you to all our grandparents, parents and special people who came to our Senior’s Week celebrations last Tuesday. It was fantastic to see so many at school celebrating with us. We also enjoyed a visit to Kiltearn House where we presented our class item for the residents. Looking forward to another great week of learning.

Class 3-4Students are presenting some work at this Friday’s assembly for our item. We have been enjoying learning about our identity and our family histories in MAPPEN. Students have been working hard on heir timestables in class and it is encouraging that they are doing the same at home. It is great to see so much home learning being completed and returned. Year 4 will continue swimming for sport for the next two weeks on Wednesday afternoon.

Class 4-5Thank you to those who came along to Parent/Teacher interviews. It was nice to meet with you all and set some goals for 2020. This Friday at assembly 4-5 are presenting our item. Assembly is at 12.50pm if you would like to attend. Well done to those students who participated in the Southern Riverina PSSA Swimming Carnival. Have a great week.

Class 5-6Thank you to all families and students involved in our Parent/Teacher interviews, it is so important to have family input and support in each child’s education. Students will be working hard on their goals this term. Swimming for sport will be continuing for the next 2 weeks. Please make sure students remember to bring their equipment for this each Friday.
